Not much point doing Lowebirds part fill, it's not going to flow over any of the engine as you top the oil tank up.

Indeed, and as the oil pump wears over time it can let oil dribble through to collect in the crankcase when stored. (Wet sumping)
Better to remove sump plug when stored to let it drain free and impose less stress on internals when next started.
